Why, yes, that is a Quintesson Judge, one of those multi-faced, tentacled alien folks who we saw sentence Hot Rod and Kup to death in The Transformers: The Movie! There was just one in the Animated Film, but we learned in The Transformers’ third season and the Marvel UK comics that there were multiple Quintesson Judges and they all had names. Trading facesĭoubledealer and his Mercenaries bring the Autobots before a familiar face or five. The Earthrise cartoon doesn’t get into any of that. ![]() It was ultimately decided to leave the individual toys unnamed on the box, out of concerns that Bandai (partial owner of GoBots intellectual property) would throw a fit.īut in 2007, the Transformers convention BotCon said “LOL” to that, and released an exclusive toy of the then-current Bumblebee toy recolored in white as Bug Bite, then also released a series of stories about the GoBots dimension going kaplooey, forcing GoBots to travel to the Transformers dimension and disguise themselves amongst them. ![]() The original Tonka GoBots Bug Bite transformed into a yellow Volkswagen Beetle, just like our familiar friend Bumblebee (but if Bumblebee transformed into a robot that has a windshield for a face), so in 2004, when Transformers released a set of recolored Mini-Vehicles including a white Bumblebee, the idea of naming them all after GoBots was flirted with, which… Hasbro now sort of half-owns. And you see that white Bumblebee there? That’s Bug Bite. ![]()
